art, culture, religion, science, philosophy, sports. whether the empire got it right last week, didn't call it second base. whether or not the nature of dark matter will be first discovered by microphysicists rather than astrophysicists. it's all part of the speech and thought and belief that's protected by the first amendment. you can't think of it just in political terms. it's important. and there's a third dimension. speech is what allows you to define your persona, your personality. your speech, your thought, your beliefs or who you are. and this is an essential human right. now, the supreme court in its first amendment cases has protected speech. that is hideous. we only get those cases we had a case recently protecting speech, videos, where it was described to me, i never look at these things, women in spikes heels killing little animals. we protected the oath. it was protected speech. we protected speech when on the day of a funeral of a service man killed in the middle east, there were protesters using derogatory words about gay

in the bubble which, incidentally, is when you need the risk management, afterwards everybody gets religion. when you're in the bubble, mark-to-market says, oh, your asset values are going up, everything is great. don't worry, be happy. and then when you're in a crunch, all of a sudden the values drop, and you're done. so it's a tool, and in the right hands it's really wonderful. and in the wrong hands, um, it doesn't work at all. and in the end i don't know the answer and would like to talk with somebody with more practical experience, because that's how i learn is talking with people with different experiences. but you wonder if one shouldn't keep two different sets of books so that you can benefit the investor. and that was really the party that lost in this whole situation. the investor can get a better sense of, um, the quality of an institution and its books. >> i will note, i mean, i've sort of been on the fence about mark-to-market, but i will note you have always, my understanding as a nonaccountant, have the option of whether you held something to maturity and, hence, mark-to-mark

the baha'i are not permitted to practice their religion and culture. their marriages are not recognized. their dead cannot be buried, according to baha'i law, and their sem tears are desecrated -- cemeteries are desecrated. they are denied government jobs and business licenses. they are not permitted to enroll in universities and baha'i schoolchildren are frequently harassed by classmates, teachers and administrators. no one deserves the hand of this treatment at the hands of their government. the baha'i faith, such as the equality of men and women and responsibility to navigate the truth are impossible for the leaders of iran to comprehend. but these are universal values, human values and they must be protected. mr. speaker, the united states and the international community must not ignore the systematic and violent attacks against the iranian baha'i community and tehran must be held accountable. by passing this resolution we shine a light on the persecution of the baha'i and hopefully move us one step closer to the day that true freedom reaches iran.

so the, the obama administration doesn't talk about freedom of religion. it talks about freedom of worship which is distinction they think it is very important. it means you are allowed to do whatever you want religiously in private, but the second it touches the government square the government wins over religious conscience. >> what strikes me, and we've done this story before, the folks at hobby lobby are not just using this to avoid something. they appear to be incredibly sincere in their religious beliefs. >> yeah. i mean, there is no profit motive in here that i think is really meaningful. this is the biggest company so far to question the hhs mandate and, you know, i think people would understand it more viscerally if we were talking about the kosher butchers or halal butchers or if someone was told they had to pay for a system that would mulch korans or something but you actually talk about forcing a company to pay for what this company at least, owners of this company truly believe is a chemical abortion and everyone says, that is just health care
